I'm confused by the use of premature optimization here. What exactly are you suggesting is the better default choice?
No. "On edge" is not a model existence limitation, it is a hardware capability/existence limitation, by definition, and by the fact that, as you point out, the models already exist.

You can already run those open weight models on Apple devices, on edge, with huge improvements on the newer hardware. Why is a distinct model required? Do the rumors appease these thoughts?

If others are making models, with no way to actually run them, that's not a viable "on edge" strategy, since it involves waiting for someone else to actually accomplish the goal first (as is being done by Apple).

that works great if all the data you need for reporting is in the database you're replicating.

You'd likely want a data warehouse if you also need to report on data that isn't in your prod database (e.g. stripe, your CRM, marketing data, etc.).

If setting up a data warehouse, etl, BI, etc. sounds like a lot of work to get reports, you're right, it is.

The redevelopment of downtown did push out many of the artists and so they packed up & moved to West Bottoms. In general KC is such an arts town that people genuinely like to go where the artists go, it's a very cool vibe. West Bottoms is packed with record stores and underground (literally) event venues though the Halloween event people still take up most of the space that might be good for living/working.

She was very explicit in her words, there's no need to read into them, she meant exactly what she said.

She very clearly stated, they didn't find or make any ruling on the plausibility of genocide, just that it was plausible that they might not be able to be protected in a case where a genocide were to happen.

They couldn't honestly claim there was any merit to the claim of genocide, but people were screaming for blood so they did this doublespeak thing where if you squint you can claim they 100% claim genocide is happening to mollify the anti-semites while not actually saying anything.

Essentially, she said, "we haven't found a genocide, but were a genocide to be attempted, it would be difficult to prevent" which is true in every single case of war, especially asymmetric warfare, where one side is much stronger than the other.

If someone were to bring a case against the US back in 2004 following the invasion of Iraq a similar finding would be totally within reason... but does anyone claim NATO committed genocide? No, but it's plausible that that there was a risk of irreparable harm to the Iraqi right to be protected from genocide.
They made that pledge for the Pixel 8 (2023). Let's revisit this in 2030 and see what the nature of their support is at that point and how it compares to Apple's support for iPhone devices. We can't make a real comparison since they haven't done anything yet, only made promises.

What we can do today is note that Apple never made a promise, but did provide very long security support for their devices despite that. They've already met or come close to the Samsung/Google pledge (for one device) on almost half their devices, and those are all the recent ones (so it's not a downward trend of good support then bad support, but rather mediocre/bad support to improving and increasingly good support).

Another fun one:

iPhone XS was released in September 2018, it is on the current iOS 17 release. In the absolute worst case of it losing iOS 18 support in September, it will have received 6 full years of support in both security and OS updates. It'll still hit 7 years (comfortably) of security updates. If it does get iOS 18 support in September, then Apple will hit the Samsung/Google pledge 5 years before Samsung/Google can even demonstrate their ability to follow through (Samsung has a chance, but Google has no history of commitment).

I have time to kill before training for a century ride:

Let's ignore everything before iPhone 4S, they had short support periods that's just a fact and hardly worth investigating. This is an analysis of devices released in 2011 and later, when the phones had, mostly, matured as a device so we should be expecting longer support periods. These are the support periods when the phones were able to run the still-current iOS versions, not counting later security updates or minor updates but after the major iOS version had been deprecated. As an example, for the iPhone 4S it had support from 2011-2016. In 2016 its OS, iOS 9, was replaced by iOS 10. Here are the numbers:

4S - 5 years
5 - 5 years
5C - 4 years (decreased, 5 hardware but released a year later in a different case)
5S - 6 years
6 - 5 years (decreased, not sure why)
6S - 7 years (hey, Apple did it! 2015 release, lost iOS upgrades in 2022)
SE(1st) - 5 years (like 5C, 6S hardware but released later)
7 - 6 years (decreased over 6S, not sure why)
8 - 6 years
X - 6 years

The 6S is a bit of an outlier, hitting 7 years of full support running the current iOS. 5C and SE(1st) both got less total support, but their internals were the same as prior phones and they lost support at the same time as them (this is reasonable, if annoying, and does drag down the average). So Apple has clearly trended towards 6 years of full support, the XS (as noted above) will get at least 6 years of support as of this coming September. We'll have to see if they can get it past the 7 year mark, I know they haven't promised anything but the trend suggests they can.
The billionaires who look for every tax loophole possible certainly know the value of “funding”. They are currently funding their yachts to take them to their superyachts. Private equity controlled health care companies are extracting billions of dollars in profits (read: overcharging people who want to live) leading to “efficiencies” like understaffing and under training which cause thousands of excess deaths every year.

Elon Musk received plenty of government funding for his companies as well. And guess what? BYD sells more cars than Tesla now (a few years ago Elon said he wasn’t worried about them and now they’re suddenly a problem) because of what? Government funding. Governments have also funded the majority of fundamental research which made present day technologies possible. Even today NIST, DARPA, NHS, NSF etc continue to fund science and technology research.

I look forward to these vendors delivering on their promises, and I look forward to Apple perhaps formalizing a promise with less variability for future products.

Neither of these hopes retroactively invalidates the fact that Apple has had a much better track record of supporting old phone models up to this point. Even if you do split hairs about the level of patching some models got in their later years, they still got full iOS updates for years longer than most Android phones got any patches at all, regardless of severity.

This is not an argument that somehow puts Android on top, at best it adds nuance to just how much better iOS support has been up to this point.

Let's also not forget that if Apple wasn't putting this kind of pressure on Google, they wouldn't have even made the promise to begin with, because it's clear how long they actually care to support products with no outside pressure.

Anything up to the memory configuration it is limited to. So for base model M4, that likely means you have 8gb of memory with 4-5 of it realistically usable.

The worst are the apps that will constantly bother you with an in-app popup to enable notifications, e.g. Goat. They make it come up randomly so you'll accidentally click on it.

Or apps that you pay for (Spotify Premium, Tidal) that will constantly bombard you with marketing in-app popups at random times. So instead of listening and enjoying my music, I can accidentally click on one of these landmines and get redirected to something I do not want.

I cancelled Spotify because of this. Will also cancel Tidal after my trial because they just copying the same ugly tactics as Spotify.
Ah, yes, there's less control there, lol.
Indeed, I think one of the "newest" redevelopments was Commerce Tower which is an all-glass contemporary styled office building but it's still a building built in 1965. It probably helps that that building was also quite thin and had centrally located elevator banks & old style mail chutes that meant all the offices were around the windowed sides anyway.

| Any tips?

Here's a trick that helped me after a ten+ year hiatus and having my attention fried by social media:

A lot of people who have lost their attention span to technology will find themselves reading but not absorbing, their mind wandering, until they realize they'd "read" 3 pages and don't remember what happened.

So read slow and with purpose, but most importantly at the end of each page, ask yourself what you just read and have a conversation with yourself about it. This helped rebuild my comprehension and focus. This is similar to how English classes will read a book as a class: Reading then discussion, reading then discussion. But instead of as a group, do it as an internal dialogue.
> I was surprised to learn that even implementing isEmpty(ob) in Javascript is an O(n) operation on most runtimes.

That is surprising. Where `n` is the number of members, yes?

Surely that kind of operation should either return false immediately if there are no members, or return true in constant time if there is at least one member?

...although, do you have to iterate through the inherited members and check for `hasOwnProperty()`? Is it maybe O(n) where `n` is the number of enumerable inherited properties?

Because buildings that were already old 50 years ago were built before elevators and other massive height building techniques. Look at old factory pictures, usually about three or four stories max. That’s much more adaptable than a gigafactory or a World Trade Center.
> no professor ...

That's one of the higher leverage activities for an instructor. Anyone can go read a book, watch a video, or do some practice problems, and lecturing at a bunch of students isn't a great way to convey information, either in absolute terms or compared to those alternatives. The instructor's job is to tell you which books to read, why the material matters, and contextualize the course against other things you care about. The particular road they tell you to travel depends on where you currently are, and a 2-way conversation is critical to getting good results.

Curious what criteria you're using for using for qualifying luxury. It seems to me that materials, software, and design are all on par with other more expansive Apple products. The main difference is the chipset which I would argue is on an equal quality level as the pro chips but designed for a less power hungry audience.

Well, I guess the example is more confusing than clarifying. I used that for a case of pushing the envelope. When Facebook needed a better solution for their feeds, they invented Reactive, and I was saying that one would need to know compiler to build JSX and need to graph to build the optimized virtual DOM. Yes, nowadays we just hire Reactive users, but my point is that in the future we may have another moment that we need to invent something, and as a company founder I sure would like to hire the author of Reactive or the like.

If we're going down that route then what's the point in putting good hardware in the device? It might as well just be a thin client. Having the same SoCs as their laptops and desktops but then relegating the iPad to something that needs to be chained to a "real" computer to do anything useful in the development space seems like a tremendous waste of potential.

I don't claim that Microsoft products are perfect, just that it seems a reasonable use of machine learning. The things I've seen them use ML models for are genuinely useful, and mostly added without too much fanfare years prior to the recent generative AI hype.
My original iPad Pro from 2015 is still used and is still perfect for not just everything I want to do with it but always has no issue with new stuff... except, Apple finally decided that it won't get OS upgrades, and so the few bits of software on it that I use are going to rot -- even the web browser these days doesn't work long as people no longer believe in progressive enhancement... the few-year old version of iOS on my iPhone would just render blank white pages for major websites, which is what finally forced me to upgrade: the device has devolved to not much more than a dumb phone -- and so this iPad, with its glorious large screen, will soon be trash.

If I could install an alternative third-party web browser -- though it would have to be one by someone who also understood the importance of supporting the old OS -- or if I could pitch in and help maintain the operating system myself, even using binary patches if required (look into who I am if you laugh here, and then stop laughing: we can do quite a lot without source code) I would be able to keep using it, but only Apple can save it now, and they have absolutely zero in incentive to do so.

By all means, not treating each vaccine as a product on its own merits and instead wholesale giving them a pass because they were all vaccines was a bad idea. Some corporations used it to rush to corner the market with rushed products that had much more side effects than others. Pfizer (BioNtech) and Oxford (now Astra Zeneca I think, after changing name 3-4 times due to the backlash they got from the side effects) are the foremost offenders. Incidentally, Pfizer lobby was the strongest - FDA avoided approving any other vaccine than Pfizer until the quarantine ended, giving Pfizer uncontested dominance of the US market. They weren't able to prevent all competitors in the Eu, but from how the current Eu commission president (leyen) who oversaw the vaccine effort during covid is under investigation for her undisclosed secret correspondence with Pfizer lobbyists, they seem to have done a lot of work there too.

I don’t have a sense of a persistent inner voice either, but I can verbalise my thoughts just fine. It feels to me like the part of my brain that turns thoughts into English sentences automatically goes to sleep when it’s not being used. And that brain power can be used for something else.

When I’m doing particularly hard programming work, I can’t have words said near me. Even music with lyrics messes me up. I think because it wakes up my “thoughts to English” pathway and that gets in the way of my “thoughts to code” pathway.

Anyway, I don’t want to be cured. There’s nothing wrong with my mind. If anything I feel sorry for people who can’t turn off their inner dialogue, because it means they can never use those neurons for other tasks - like maths or programming.

Personally I can talk while programming if an interviewer wants that, but I’ll be a bit dumber at the keyboard than if I sat in silence.
